Dr Jonathan Antonio Edelman
Lecturer
BioMy professional and academic experience includes working with, facilitating and teaching teams from the around the globe in a wide spectrum of domains including Product Service System Design, User Experience, Interaction Design, Business Innovation, Digital Transformation and Digital Health Design.
I have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (New Product Development and Design Theory & Methodology) from Stanford University, an MFA in Art and Design from Stanford University, a BA in Historical Mathematics and Philosophy from St John's College, Annapolis, and was a GlaxoSmithKline Fellow at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Summer Institute for Entrepreneurship.I am founder and director of the Center for Advanced Design Studies. My work focuses on understanding and creating innovative cultures that make impact in diverse cultural settings.
As a deep generalist, my interests are fundamentally transdisciplinary: I study how change is made in diverse fields and distill these insights into novel formal methods that can be brought to a wide range of fields to create new phenomena that enable entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs to bring their best to make positive impact in the world.
My expertise is in creating a bridge between cutting edge design theory and day-to-day practice by providing design teams with tested conceptual frameworks and physical tools for ideation, prototyping and empirical testing. Polymath, Iconoclast, Classicist and Lover of Pop Culture, I engage and inspire diverse communities to think outside the box, to reach and deliver far beyond expectations. -
Christopher Edwards
Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Emeritus
BioThe Edwards research group is focused on fundamental research for advanced energy technologies. The group performs theoretical and experimental studies of energy transformations such that the conversion process can be made cleaner, more efficient, and more controllable than has been possible with traditional technologies. Applications include advanced transportation engines (piston and turbine) and advanced electric power generation with carbon mitigation.

Matthew R. Edwards
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
BioMatthew Edwards is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering. His research applies high-power lasers to the development of optical diagnostics for fluids and plasmas, the study of intense light-matter interactions, and the construction of compact light and particle sources, combining adaptive high-repetition-rate experiments and large-scale simulations to explore new regimes in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, and plasma physics.
Matthew received BSE, MA, and PhD degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University. He was then a Lawrence Fellow in the National Ignition Facility and Photon Science Directorate at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. -
Shadi Elaridi
Masters Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2020
BioI'm Shadi Elaridi, a Senior Undergraduate student studying Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. My concentration is in Product Realization and among my many passions, I aspire to engineer affordable products that bring the world together in solving problems. Having lived overseas for nine years, I have gained firsthand experience of global inequities. I aim to use affordable, efficient engineering as a means of combatting these inequities.
My research interests fall within designing for extreme environments and using mechanical engineering design to bridging global resource gaps. Please, feel free to reach out with any questions you may have!

Vivian Feig
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
BioDr. Vivian Feig is an incoming Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering department, beginning March 2024. The Feig lab aims to develop low-cost, noninvasive, and widely-accessible medical technologies that integrate seamlessly with the human body. We accomplish this by developing functional materials and devices with dynamic mechanical properties, leveraging chemistry and physics insights to engineer novel systems at multiple length scales. In pursuit of our goals, we maintain a strong emphasis on integrity and diversity, while nurturing the intellectual curiosity and holistic growth of our team members as researchers, communicators, and leaders.

Tim Flint
Ph.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2017
BioI am a PhD candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University working with Professor Parviz Moin . My PhD research is on the receptivity of the flow field around high-speed bodies. I hope to understand how free-stream disturbances excite instabilities that may grow and become relevant to boundary layer transition in high-speed flight.

Josué García Ávila
Ph.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Summer 2022
BioJosué García-Ávila, a highly accomplished individual from Guerrero, Mexico, boasts a strong educational background, having earned a Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics Engineering from Universidad Anáhuac and a Master’s degree in Manufacturing Systems from Tecnológico de Monterrey. As a graduate student in the Advanced Manufacturing Research Group, Josué excelled and was recognized with an academic scholarship from the National Council of Science and Technology of Mexico (CONACyT).
Josué's expertise in the field of engineering is further highlighted by his successful career in the automotive industry, where he worked as a Sr. Manufacturing Engineer (Machining & Assembly) at Bocar Group for several years. In addition to his professional achievements, Josué also demonstrated his commitment to making a positive impact, having lived in Costa Rica for two years where he dedicated himself to humanitarian work.
His passion for innovation and technology shines through in his current research interests, which include exploring the data-driven mechanics of architected, multifunctional, sustainable, soft, and stretchable materials to create mimetic artificial living matter for biomedical applications and beyond. His impressive research accomplishments are evidenced by his first-author publications.
Josué's dedication to his field and drive for success has not gone unnoticed. He has been awarded the EDGE Doctoral Fellowship, by nomination of the graduate admissions committee and most recently awarded the prestigious Claudio X. Gonzalez Graduate Fellowship to pursue PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the prestigious Stanford School of Engineering. -
J. Christian Gerdes
Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Emeritus
BioChris Gerdes is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University and Co-Director of the Center for Automotive Research at Stanford (CARS). His laboratory studies how cars move, how humans drive cars and how to design future cars that work cooperatively with the driver or drive themselves. When not teaching on campus, he can often be found at the racetrack with students, trying out their latest prototypes for the future. Vehicles in the lab include X1, an entirely student-built test vehicle; Niki, a Volkswagen GTI capable of turning a competitive lap time around the track without a human driver; and Marty, our electrified, automated, drifting DeLorean. Chris' interests in vehicle safety extend to ethics and government policy, having helped to develop the US Federal Automated Vehicle Policy while serving as the first Chief Innovation Officer of the US Department of Transportation.
